| Nude Turntable Project Banquo, Your idea of the cause of the glitches in my TT101 operation is a good one. When we first got it to run at all, it exhibited all sorts of crazy forms of malfunction, even though every single electrolytic capacitor had been replaced, and Bi... | |
| has anyone else tried Lloyd Walkers latest tweak Dear Rodman, I assume that I am "Mr. L". If so, please tell me how your last post in any way addresses the question of whether an inert crystal (not one that is energized in any way) can prevent RFI from affecting one's vinyl playback. Yes, Al poi... | |
| TTW MOMENTUS MOMENTUS "The MONSTER" Rim Drive Bydlo, You have specifically catalogued all the things that I also do not like about rim drive; I just did not wish to go into gory detail. TTW claims to have addressed at least most of the issues in the Momentus. | |
| Nude Turntable Project Perhaps a thong. But then one's other turntables would be attracted.I hope Halcro does not mind this diverting of his thread topic from nude to TT101 nude, but I have a TT101 question for other users: Even after Bill Thalmann blessed mine, I still... | |
| Nude Turntable Project I agree with all that the metal chassis is a sonic problem and removing it entirely might be a good idea. I am going to try it. I had already come to the conclusion that the "pants" on the DP80 ought also to be removed, but first I am going to try... | |
| Can Digital beat our Analog installations? Jfrech, I wondered how you could perceive that the Cardas cable reduced "noise" compared to two other cables, when the background is said to be better than -100db for any respectable digital playback system. I don't doubt your perception that the ... | |
| TTW MOMENTUS MOMENTUS "The MONSTER" Rim Drive TTW has come in for more than a little criticism on this forum, mostly from one or two dissatisfied customers. I am not a customer, but I always thought they deserve a little credit for their "all-out" approach, whether I always agree with their d... | |
| Nude Turntable Project I am all for "education and hobby fun", dagnabbit!The Denon DP80 bearing is also supposed to be "forever", so I've done nothing to the bearing in my DP80, as well. The fact that your bearing fluid was brown indicates it probably was a good idea to... | |
| has anyone else tried Lloyd Walkers latest tweak Also, if what you theorize were true, we wouldn't be having this discussion; it would be common knowledge. | |
| has anyone else tried Lloyd Walkers latest tweak Dear Rodman, The crystal in those old radios is an RF generator, not an RF absorber. In the old days, I think those radios were "tuned" to a particular frequency by changing the crystal, each one of which resonated at a different frequency. In fac... | |
| Nude Turntable Project Aigenga,In the TT101 Service Manual it explicitly states that the bearing needs no service, which would include periodic lubrication. Bill Thalmann also strongly advised against trying to "lubricate" it. You may fairly respond, and I would agree, ... | |
| has anyone else tried Lloyd Walkers latest tweak Dear Neetzshe, You wrote:"That is how science works: theory, then, experiment."It can also work the other way: Experiment, then formulate a theory based on actual data. Then do more experiments to determine whether your theory holds water.Please d... | |
| has anyone else tried Lloyd Walkers latest tweak Perditty, The only thing I would take issue with is your use of the term "debate". Inert crystals either can or cannot affect RFI. The debate could be about whether they make an improvement in one's audio system; that would be a reasonable subject... | |
| has anyone else tried Lloyd Walkers latest tweak Perditty, Rodman, and Benjie: Can you get it through your heads that my question is not whether your system sounds better with the Walker crystals. It is also not about whether my system would sound better if I were to employ them. My ONLY questio... | |
| Can Digital beat our Analog installations? Thuchan, I admire your purchasing power, but the topic has been hashed over beyond ad nauseam. Let me turn the question around: do you like either of your digital rigs better than your EMT927? |
